  • Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 pint

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 spoonful cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup chilled espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)

Optional Mix-ins

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Nut butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mixture: Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chilled espresso, and milk into a Ninja Creami pint. Whisk or blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Freeze Mixture: Place the pint in the freezer and freeze overnight for at least 8 hours until the mixture is fully solid.
  3. Creamify Ice Cream: Remove the pint from the freezer and run it through the Ninja Creami using the 'Lite Ice Cream' or 'Ice Cream' setting to achieve a creamy texture.
  4. Adjust Texture: If the ice cream feels dry or crumbly, re-spin the pint again until it reaches your desired creamy consistency.
  5. Add Mix-ins: Incorporate optional mini chocolate chips or a spoonful of nut butter by using the ‘mix-in’ feature on the Ninja Creami.
  6. Serve: Scoop the finished mocha espresso protein ice cream into bowls or cones, then serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavor and creamy texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use strong espresso or very concentrated coffee to enhance the mocha flavor.
  • Choose your favorite milk, such as almond, oat, dairy, or soy, to fit dietary preferences.
  • Ensure the mixture is fully blended for smooth texture and no powder lumps before freezing.
  • Freeze for at least 8 hours to guarantee the mixture is solid enough for the Ninja Creami to process properly.
  • Re-spin the ice cream if texture is too dry or crumbly to achieve creaminess.
  • Try different mix-ins like chopped nuts or dark chocolate for added texture and flavor.
